The brass movement resembles a 30-hour OG movement, with the fusee added below. The movement is unsigned as is the old zinc dial. This maker was known to buy clocks and clock parts from other makers. It would be my thinking that this clock was made by someone else as the one inch strip of paper label with Frost's name, is an over paste of another label. Glasses, dial are original to this case. The coil gong does not appear to be original. Key locking door, missing only the escutcheon. 19 inches mahogany veneer case has had no repair. There are a few small veneer chips, certainly not places you would want to patch.
